Pattern Notes
The Candy Net Cardigan is an airy and modern crochet piece designed with an open net stitch for maximum breathability, lightness, and style. Perfect for layering — wear it over jeans, a dress, or even swimwear. It’s a versatile statement piece that’s fully customizable to your size and style.
Construction
The cardigan is made from 3 large flat panels (front ×2 and back ×1), which are later joined together. Sleeves are then crocheted directly onto the body for a seamless finish.
Sizes & Adjustments
Size S (sample): 34 rows for the body panels

✨ Adjust length as you like — reduce rows for a cropped look or add rows for a longer, relaxed fit.
